Emily has spoken to tens of thousands of students over the last ten years. She is shattering the stigma surrounding mental health, by speaking at high schools, colleges, and conferences across the country about mental health and suicide prevention.

​

Rather than suffer silently as many do, Emily seeks to help others who also struggle with mental illnesses, by sharing her personal experience. She encourages others to open up. She began speaking locally while she was attending college. From there, her personal story spread across the country. Her presentations bring to light the silent stigma of mental health and the ways to offer support. She combines this education with a call to action for the prevention of suicide nationwide.

​

Emily is currently a Clinical Psychology graduate student. In addition, Emily founded Lost Got Found. The website shares stories of those affected by mental illness and assists them in taking the first step toward gaining support... letting others know about the silent struggles they face. ​
